The IP Settings tab contains fields for assigning IP addresses and Management VLAN. IP addresses are either defined as static or are retrieved using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). DHCP assigns dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. DHCP ensures that network devices can have a different IP address every time the device connects to the network.

Use the System Time screen to view and adjust date and time settings. The switch supports Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP). SNTP ensures accurate network device clock time synchronization up to the millisecond. Time synchronization is performed by a network SNTP server. This switch operates only as an SNTP client and cannot provide time services to other systems.
Items
Descriptions
Current time
Displays the current system time.
Enable SNTP
Select whether to enable or disable system time synchronization with an SNTP server.
Time Zone
Configure the time zone setting either by setting GMT difference or by country.
Daylight Savings Time
Select from Disabled, Recurring or Non-recurring.
Daylight Savings Time Offset
Enter the time of Daylight Savings Time Offset.
Recurring From
Select the Day, Week, Month, and Hour from the list.
Recurring To
Select the Day, Week, Month, and Hour from the list.
SNTP/NTP Server Address
Enter the IP address or hostname of the SNTP/NTP server.
Server Port
Enter the server port of the SNTP/NTP server.
To configure date/time through SNTP:
Next to the Enable SNTP, select Enable.
In the Time Zone Offset list, select by country or by the GMT time zone where the switch is located.
Next select Disabled, Recurring, or Non-Recurring for Daylight Savings Time. Daylight saving is a period from late Spring to early Fall when many countries set their clocks forward or backward by one hour to give more daytime light in the evening.
In the SNTP/NTP Server Address field, enter the IP address or the host name of the SNTP/NTP server.
Finally, enter the port number on the SNTP server to which SNTP requests are sent. The valid range is from 1–65535. The default is: 123.
Click Apply to update the system settings.
To configure date/time manually:
Next to the Enable SNTP, select Disable.
In the Manual Time field, use the drop-down boxes to manually select the date and time you wish to set.
In the Time Zone Offset list, select by country or by the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC/GMT) time zone in which the switch is located.
Next select Disabled, Recurring or Non-recurring for Daylight Savings Time. Daylight saving is a period from late Spring to early Fall when many countries set their clocks forward or backward by one hour to give more daytime light in the evening.
Click Apply to update the system settings.
This list shows IPv6 neighbors where the switch uses NDP (Neighbor Discovery Protocol) to determine the Layer 2 MAC addresses for neighboring hosts.
